Wow this fricks a good tourism weekend for the city. Steelers fans are the best traveling team.


Apparently it was either the Steelers or the Packers and the Saints pushed for Pittsburgh to keep the more important conference game in the dome.

Green Bay travels well too. Plus, remember Pittsburgh doesn't have a quarterback right now. (Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar). They could be pretty putrid this year (new coach, good QB class coming up so incentive to tank), which means if we got them late in the year, they may not be travelling as well as usual.

So I assume you're arguing that the Saints chose to leak false information to a French radio station for the purpose of driving up ticket sales.



You’re moving the goalposts. Post where Gayle denied it was the Browns….

Because Gayle could unload the Saints share of Paris tickets for 4X to Brokers to resell to Steelers Fans in Europe, instead of making any available to Saints Fans to buy at face value and make the trip.

From the beginning the only report of the browns was a single French x post and everyone ran with that. The nfl confirmed the date snd said opponent tbd

From the story:

At the time, Saints owner Gayle Benson denied the initial reports that the Browns would play in the Paris, saying the opponent had not been determined by NFL officials.

Anyone going to France or thinking about making trip?

Fingers crossed they have a direct flight from NO to Paris. I could see something like that happening.

25% chance I’m there lol.

Like I said, Pittsburgh doesn't have a quarterback.

I wish I had a link to the story, but I read yesterday that the hold-up has to do with Rodgers wanting an easy out to be traded or released if things go south in Pittsburgh this season.

TBH if you are mad about this because you lose out on resale value then I’m glad this happened to you. What’s the point of buying season tickets if you are just worried about selling them. Loser
They are clearly meaning that they sell them to the visiting fans. I'm also glad they are mad.

Anyone been to an international game before? How do ticket sales work? I see an article mentioning hotel / flight / ticket packages but I'd only be interested in the tickets.

I like this one. An account called "Irish NFL Show" chooses Charlie Smyth as the representative Saint on the graphic.

Season ticket holders can opt in to a lottery, chances are weighted based on years as a season ticket holder. Every account drawn will have the option to buy 2 tickets.

Other than that I don't know. My guess is most tickets will be sold in France and Europe.

They are getting 11,200 of the 80,000. They'll give 500 to Season Ticket holders and unload the rest to Travel Agents and Brokers.

This is revenue on-top of the stipend the league gives them for giving up a home game and going there.

The tickets they unload to Brokers won't be included in Revenue Share with the league unlike when they sell tickets in the Dome.

I believe so. Lady Gayle networked through her Vatican contacts and promised to funnel more money into the St. Louis Cathedral "Roof" Project if it worked..
